Good photography can be an art or a science and for some a bit of both. Close up or macro photography displays the tiny and small at unusually large size making for extreme graphic images. You can be mm away from the subject or at arms length, distance is not the criteria but isolating the normal image from its normal surrounding can lead to amazing results.

The same can be said for different to extreme angles or close up from a distance. Choose unexpected view points with unusual cropping. Try to have the image slightly offset, 1/3-2/3rds is a nice natural proportion.

Leah
King-Smith

Artist

Indigenous cultural empowerment has been a fundamental thread in Leah King- Smith’s practice over the past two decades.
Born in Gympie in Queensland, King-Smith holds graduate and post graduate degrees in fine art and is currently a PhD Candidate at Queensland Universityof Technology, Brisbane. Throughout her career, she has been included in significant group exhibitions of contemporary Australian art and has had regular solo exhibitions. Her solo exhibition Patterns of Connection, 1992 – 1994, travelled extensively to venues in the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States and New Zealand. Recent major group exhibitions include The Changing Face of Victoria, State Library of Victoria 2005, Black Photography, touring exhibition from Albury Regional Gallery 2005 and Art Connexions: German and Asia/Pacific photomedia artists cultural exchange program, organised by the Goethe Institut, RMIT Gallery Melbourne and Studio Gallery Singapore 2005-2006.
King-Smith’s work is held in the National Gallery of Australia’s collection, most State Gallery collections and in other public collections in Australia.

"My photographic practice could mostly be described as both political and spiritual in the sense that as an Aboriginal Indigenous artist I take stock of the rationalising effect of the technologies I use, and create work that evokes nature and spirit. My methods often involve re-photographing or digitally re-working landscape photographs and adding historical or cultural icons of significance. Working with Indigenous athletes has been an honour and a pleasure. I admire the athletes’ passion and dedication to their chosen sport, and above all their humility which seems a trait somewhat in contrast to what it takes to attain the highest levels of achievement. Indigenous athletes are wonderful role models for all Australians, and in making creative work that places their luminary presence with the land, I am aligning sportspeople with a deep sense of nature and spirit."
